About Me
As a Senior Ruby on Rails Developer, I have extensive experience in software development and a deep understanding of the Ruby on Rails framework. I am passionate about creating high-quality software following the best practices.
Throughout my career, I have consistently worked in different projects, utilizing agile methodologies to manage projects efficiently. I am a creative problem solver and able to think outside of the box to come up with innovative solutions to complex problems.
I am highly skilled in working with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and have a deep understanding of various databases, including MySQL and PostgreSQL. I am always seeking out the latest trends and technologies in software development, and am constantly looking for new ways to improve my skills and stay ahead of the curve.
As a developer, I am highly collaborative and thrive in a team environment. I like to do pair programming and mentoring other members of the team. I work effectively with stakeholders communicating technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
Above all, I am passionate about writting code that makes a difference and am committed to using my skills and experience to make a positive impact on the projects I work on.
